I am working on Apple Macbook Air with M1 silicon and I installed nRF command tools version 10.15.4macOS

When I open the toolchain manager , there is an error that shows up in the log:

ERROR Failed to get the library versions: JLINKARM_DLL_COULD_NOT_BE_OPENED (Origin: "Failed to get module versions.")

also I tried installing the nRF connect SDKv1.9.1, but not able to download.

Does anyone have a proper way around this problem.

Hello, I will repost my question from the closed thread:

You are able to download the file in the web browser on your mac, but not in the toolchain manager on your mac?

Is this correct?

And both of this is with the same internet connection?

Hi again

When you're talking about the toolchain manager, you are referring to the nRF Connect for Desktop tool, right?

Installing on an M1 Mac shouldn't be a problem, from the errors you are getting it seems like it might be a problem related to your internet connection, maybe a firewall is blocking nRF Connect?

It is recommended to install through nRF Connect for Desktop, but it is also possible to install manually. If you want to give that a shot you can find a guide here.

Best regards,

Hi Einar,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I am referring about the Desktop tool. For your reference I am attaching the screenshot of the tool on my mac.

Please have a look at the log. Are you still sure that it is network issue?

yes this looks very much like a network issue, can you show me the full error message starting with "Error: Unable to download"?

It seems to continue offscreen.
